In March and April of this year, akaCatholic published a fascinating nine part exposé by Randy Engel on the Opus Dei takeover of the Knights of Columbus. The response from readers was overwhelmingly positive, as expected.
The response from Opus Dei, Knights of Columbus, and their most adamant apologists, by contrast, was nearly non-existent. Beyond a few ad hominem attacks unjustly directed against Mrs. Engel upon publication of Part One, as each successive part built upon the others, her critics fell silent, a sure indiction that her report is right on target.
Here, I am pleased to offer the complete exposé in book form as a downloadable PDF file.
Presumably, even those who read the individual parts piecemeal will benefit (as did I) from rereading the complete edition. In all cases, the PDF provides readers with a simple way to share the work with others, whether by offering a link to this blog post, or by sending the booklet out as an email attachment.
(Once PDF is open, if desired, right click to “Open in Preview” which will allow you to view / read the book in Adobe Acrobat. Once here, on the task bar select “View / Page Display / Two-Page View / Show Cover Page.” This will allow you to view and read as a digital book. You may also choose “File / Save-As” to download and save the PDF.)
I am sure that I speak for our regular readers and many others in acknowledging the degree to which faithful Catholics are indebted to Randy Engel for all of her diligent research and intrepid reporting. May Our Lord bless and keep her!
